Notes

  • Expert tips!
  • Dippers
  • Anything you can dip goes with this crock pot dip! My favorites are slices of bread (hearty to hold a lot of dip!), pretzels, tortilla chips, crackers, sliced bell peppers and celery.
  • Really, the sky is the limit. If you have leftovers stuffed inside a grilled cheese sandwich!
  • Oven Directions
  • How to Reheat
  • To reheat in the microwave, place leftovers in microwave safe bowl and heat for about 1-2 minutes depending on the amount of leftovers. Stir and enjoy.
  • You can also bake it in the oven in an oven safe dish or warm it up in a crock pot. 
  • We recommend a 1.5 quart crock pot for this recipe, but if you double it make sure to use a 3 quart crock pot. 
  • If you don't have any cooked, shredded  chicken on hand simply substitute that with 2 cans of chunk chicken that has been drained. I will warn you that this will tend to break apart a lot when you cook it, so it's not the best option. I love having Crock-Pot shredded chicken in my freezer so I can make this dip any time I want!
  • If you prefer blue cheese with your hot sauce instead of ranch simply substitute a blue cheese dressing for the ranch in this recipe!
  • I prefer Colby-Jack cheese for this recipe, but in a pinch any shredded cheese will do! Remember it's best to use a block of cheese and shred it yourself because it will melt much better than the preshredded cheese!
  • If you want to kick this Crock-Pot buffalo chicken dip up a notch add some more of the hot sauce. I started with a 1/2 c. but feel free to adjust depending on your taste preference. You can add buffalo sauce after it cooks if you want to adjust the level of spice.
  • Start by spreading the cream cheese on the bottom of a 1 quart baking dish. Layering the chicken, hot sauce, dressing and sprinkling with shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted.
